      [PATCH] bcm43xx: fix unexpected LED control values in BCM4303 sprom · df6d7c94
      Larry Finger 提交于
      The bcm43xx driver uses 4 locations in the devices sprom to determine
      the behavior of the leds. Certain defaults are assigned if all bits are
      set in those locations. On at least one BCM4303 chip, the sprom contains
      values other than the default, which executes an assertion placed in the
      default case of a following switch statement. This patch makes the leds
      on the above mentioned interface behave correctly. In addition, it limits
      the number of logged messages to 20 for the case of unexpected values in
      the sprom locations.

      [PATCH] bcm43xx: Fix low-traffic netdev watchdog TX timeouts · 81e171b9
      Michael Buesch 提交于
      This fixes a netdev watchdog timeout problem.
      The software needs to call netif_tx_disable before running the
      hardware calibration code. The problem condition can be shown by the
      following timegraph.
      
      |---5secs - ~10 jiffies time---|---|OOPS
      ^                              ^
      last real TX                   periodic work stops netif
      
      At OOPS, the following happens:
      The watchdog timer triggers, because the timeout of 5secs
      is over. The watchdog first checks for stopped TX.
      _Usually_ TX is only stopped from the TX handler to indicate
      a full TX queue. But this is different. We need to stop TX here,
      regardless of the TX queue state. So the watchdog recognizes
      the stopped device and assumes it is stopped due to full
      TX queues (Which is a _wrong_ assumption in this case). It then
      tests how far the last TX has been in the past. If it's more than
      5secs (which is the case for low or no traffic), it will fire
      a TX timeout.

      [PATCH] hostap_plx: fix CIS verification · 115e222d
      Pavel Roskin 提交于
      The length of the manfid CIS should be at least 4, and it's normally 4.
      It's incorrect to require it to be at least 5.  This breaks support for
      most (if not all) cards.
      
      The right place to ensure that we don't access beyond the CIS buffer is
      to strengthen another check.  Make sure that the next tuple begins at
      least at the CIS buffer end (in which case we stop processing) or
      before that.

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      David Howells 提交于
      Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
      of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
      Linux kernel.
      
      The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
      space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
      from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
      (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
      
      Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
      something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
      maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
      handling.
      
      Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
      through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
      device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
      interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
      device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
      layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
      
      I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
      main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
      I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
      with minimal configurations.
      
      This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
      Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
      
      	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
      
      And put the old one back at the end:
      
      	set_irq_regs(old_regs);
      
      Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
      
      In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
      
      	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
      	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
      	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
      	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
      
      I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
      except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
      
      Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
      
       (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
           the input_dev struct.
      
       (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
           something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
           pointer or not.
      
       (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
           irq_handler_t.

      [PATCH] maximum latency tracking infrastructure · 5c87579e
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      Add infrastructure to track "maximum allowable latency" for power saving
      policies.
      
      The reason for adding this infrastructure is that power management in the
      idle loop needs to make a tradeoff between latency and power savings
      (deeper power save modes have a longer latency to running code again).  The
      code that today makes this tradeoff just does a rather simple algorithm;
      however this is not good enough: There are devices and use cases where a
      lower latency is required than that the higher power saving states provide.
       An example would be audio playback, but another example is the ipw2100
      wireless driver that right now has a very direct and ugly acpi hook to
      disable some higher power states randomly when it gets certain types of
      error.
      
      The proposed solution is to have an interface where drivers can
      
      * announce the maximum latency (in microseconds) that they can deal with
      * modify this latency
      * give up their constraint
      
      and a function where the code that decides on power saving strategy can
      query the current global desired maximum.
      
      This patch has a user of each side: on the consumer side, ACPI is patched
      to use this, on the producer side the ipw2100 driver is patched.
      
      A generic maximum latency is also registered of 2 timer ticks (more and you
      lose accurate time tracking after all).
      
      While the existing users of the patch are x86 specific, the infrastructure
      is not.  I'd like to ask the arch maintainers of other architectures if the
      infrastructure is generic enough for their use (assuming the architecture
      has such a tradeoff as concept at all), and the sound/multimedia driver
      owners to look at the driver facing API to see if this is something they
      can use.

      USB: Dealias -110 code (more complete) · 38e2bfc9
      Pete Zaitcev 提交于
      The purpose of this patch is to split off the case when a device does
      not reply on the lower level (which is reported by HC hardware), and
      a case when the device accepted the request, but does not reply at
      upper level. This redefinition allows to diagnose issues easier,
      without asking the user if the -110 happened "immediately".
      
      The usbmon splits such cases already thanks to its timestamp, but
      it's not always available.
      
      I adjusted all drivers which I found affected (by searching for "urb").
      Out of tree drivers may suffer a little bit, but I do not expect much
      breakage. At worst they may print a few messages.

      [PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_private · 8e18e294
      Theodore Ts'o 提交于
      The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes
      on a UP x86.  (It would be more on an x86_64 system).  This is a 10% reduction
      in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode
      (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to
      save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is
      disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat
      in the VFS inode structure).
      
      This patch:
      
      The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union,
      which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been
      using the void pointer.  Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with
      a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer.  This is just a
      cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where
      the union will actually be used.
